Org-to-Org Deployment

Deploy metadata straight from one org to another - Serpent compares them, you pick components, and every move goes through a review PR.

Try it in the demo →

Org-to-org deployment moves metadata straight from a source org to a target org, without hand-building a package.xml or a manifest. Serpent retrieves from the source, compares it against the target, and lets you pick exactly what to deploy.

How it works

Org-to-org deployment runs from a Work Item. Open a Work Item with the "Try it in the demo" button above, then:

Work Item More actions menu with Deploy from Source, alongside Retrieve Changes, Execute Apex, and Execute Automation Flow
  1. Open Deploy from Source

    On the Work Item, open More actions and choose Deploy from Source to start the Compare Org and Deploy flow.

  2. Select source and target orgs

    Choose the org to deploy from and the org to deploy into.

  3. Preview the differences

    Serpent retrieves the source metadata and compares it against a fresh snapshot of the target, so you see what actually differs before committing anything.

  4. Select components

    Pick the components to move. Only what you select enters the deployment.

  5. Validate against the target

    The selection is validated against the target org. Failures send you back to adjust the selection, not into a broken deploy.

  6. Review and deploy

    Serpent opens a review PR for the change and deploys the merged result to the target org.

Preview before you commit

The preview step retrieves the source metadata without committing it, so comparing two orgs never changes either one. You see drift in both directions before a single component moves.

A review PR every time

Because every org-to-org deployment goes through a pull request, the change is reviewable and the history is kept. Even a direct org-to-org move leaves a complete, timestamped audit trail.
